Although I’m not a religious person I do like to believe that there is something greater than us, most probably it is human nature to believe. After reading Les Thanatonautes (The Thanatonauts, death-nauts/sailors if translated from Greek) andL’Empire des Anges (The Empire of the Angels) by Bernard Werber I really want to believe in the existence of angels. I’m not sure why these books are not translated yet in English maybe because they touch a subject we so much avoid talking, facing and even accepting, the death; I consider them masterpieces and that they will become classical in the future, at least in countries that they will get translated.

Anyway this pattern was inspired from The Empire of the Angels.

I love pomegranates, i’m actually addicted to them visually, symbolically and taste-wise.

In regions that they grow, including Cyprus (where I live) they symbolize prosperity and fertility and are often given as wedding favours. In China it is also a very common symbol for wishing the new year to be a ‘fruitful’ one.

This is a PDF pattern with which you can make a quick Pomegranate for yourself or as a present to the loved ones.

Most of my friends already know my passion for this fruit, specifically for its symbolism, beauty and taste. I have a lot of pomegranates around the house; dried ones, drawn on paper and on bags, decorative ones and since I love them so much I thought why not crochet them and this is what I came up with. Already three of these are decorating our house and my car, and soon they will also become gifts to friends and family.

Pomegranate is a symbol of prosperity and fertility in many regions; Mediterranean, Middle East, Caucasus, India, China, Peru… basically where they are grown and often they are given as presents to newlyweds. Except for their symbol they are rich in antioxidants and very tasty.

‘Dolls from around the world’ have a new member, a Gypsy Doll 🙂 . I love gypsy ladies dressing up, they are so colourful and eye catching. Whenever we visit Plovdiv, my husband’s birthtown, we always take a round trip with a bus into the gypsy neighborhood, it looks so different, ‘culturally’, like it is out of place and time.

This is my third version of Matryoshka, and it is obvious that i’m addicted to these dolls. I love them so much because they are a reminder of my motherland, Russia. It is funny, i was mentioning to my husband how much i love Cyprus which felt like i was kind of betraying where I come from and he told me, with his calm and reasonable voice: ‘But this is normal, Russia is your motherland and Cyprus is your homeland’ which is sooo true. I’m proud of my motherland and my past and I love its beautiful green plains, forests, lakes and rivers, culture and traditions but i also love my new home; summer, sun, watermelons, beach, my husband and our cats…

Anyway, let’s get back to the pattern. With this pattern you will be able to make three variations; plain body with embroidery, body with stripes and body with apron. By using different colours and embroidery styles (all provided in the pattern) the sky is your limit. It is an easy pattern with a few tricks for which detailed written instructions, photos and graphs are all provided.

This doll is made in memory of my trip to Bali for yoga teacher training, a dedication to Alicia, an amazing yoga teacher, to all my fellow sweet yogis and a reminder of celebrating my 27th birthday on this amazing island while going through an experience that would shift and shape my life after this trip.

I cannot express in words the changes this amazing experience has had on my life, on all levels. I could talk for ages about philosophy, concept, lifestyle, perception etc etc but the one and most important thing that I’ve learned is that wisdom can only be gained by experience, no matter how much i might learn or know the best things in my life are the joys and the lessons. Both can be gained only with actions, experimentation and an open mind.
